Middlesbrough vs. Coventry Betting Tips: Two bets in battle for Championship play-off final spot

Middlesbrough and Coventry City battle it out for the third time in 10 days for the chance to play Luton in the Championship play-off final.

The teams played out a goalless draw in the Midlands on Sunday, but there can only be one winner on Wednesday night - whether that be in 90 minutes, extra-time, or penalties - when they lock horns at the Riverside, live on Sky Sports 1 at 8pm.

The teams must be sick of the sight of each other, having faced-off twice in just over a week.

On both occasions they couldn't be separated, playing out a 1-1 draw at the Riverside on the final day of the season followed by a goalless draw at the weekend in the first leg of their semi-final tie.

Middlesbrough may feel they have the slight edge back on home soil - with bookmakers pricing them at odds-on to win in normal time - but after going four matches without a win and failing to beat Coventry in either duel, another tight and no doubt nerve-shredding contest is expected in the North East.

Coventry, who have lost once in 18 games,  certainly won't be disheartened following the first leg draw as they can take huge confidence from an unbeaten nine game run on the road dating back to February.

With that said, a third consecutive draw at 90 minutes stands-out at 13/5 with Bet Victor.

Keeping the above in mind, I've opted for a correct score bet for my second tip.

A consecutive goalless draw is tempting at 11/1, however I do feel both teams will find the back of the net this time around, as they did at the Riverside recently.

Betfred offer a leading price of 6/1 for another 1-1 draw - in 90 minutes - which I will be having a small nibble on.
